By Tracy Breton PROVIDENCE -- At the request of lawyers representing victims of The Station nightclub fire and the parties they sued for money damages, federal Magistrate Judge David L. Martin has rescheduled the next status conference in the case until Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. At a hearing yesterday, Martin had set Jan. 14 as the date for the next conference. More than 300 plaintiffs who suffered injuries or lost a loved one in the Feb. 20, 2003, nightclub fire are expecting to receive money from a $176 million settlement fund. A court-appointed special master, Duke University Law School Prof. Francis E. McGovern, is expected to submit his plan for distributing the proceeds to the court on Friday.

I cannot wait to see the amt. of the lawyers fees.That seems to be a 'state secret'. I'm beginning to wonder if the fee structure has even been shared with the victims .How could there be so many people involved and still no leaks.Did I miss something?
